All About Guts

At school we are learning about body systems.

I have to find some pictures of body systems for my homework.
I looked for some pictures on Google of guts.

I am interested in the guts where it digests the food.

"Once food is swallowed, it passes through the esophagus into the stomach, the pink organ shown here above the yellow pancreas. A large, muscular chamber, the stomach produces digestive juices like pepsin, lipase, and hydrochloric acid, which digest and dissolve stomach contents."

{FROM THIS WEBSITE}

I chose this picture because of what it looks like. It looks interesting.

This picture shows the body parts of whats inside the man.
In the picture he is going to eat the apple and the apple is going to go through him and make stuff to keep him going.

This picture is looking on the side of the body.

This is a picture of a stomach. I think its a pigs stomach bu my mum thinks its a human one.
I think I am right.
Cos I am.
I learnt it at school and saw a pigs stomach and it looked right like that.

Scorpions

The most dangerous scorpion lives in North Africa. It is called the Death Stalker.
It can sting a dog and it will die in five hours and if it stings a person it will die in three hours.
Most other scorpions poison take seven hours to kill something.

Deathstalker

Scorpions are part of the Spider Family.
Scorpions eat other insects but they eat each other when they can't find other food.

Lizards sometimes eat scorpions!

The black scorpions are called Emperor Scorpions. They are not as dangerous as Death Stalkers.

There are 1752 types of scorpions but only about 25 species can kill humans.

Slice of Life Story: Oakley Creek

I don't like Oakley Creek.
I don't like it because it makes me feel sick.
The animals and the water, also the trees.
The water is brown and full of poo.
There is rubbish and bugs and eels.
I will like it more if it was clean.
We cleaned Oakley Creek but it still needs more cleaning.

The Annoying Orange

This is really funny. It will knock your brains out.



I really like the annoying orange cos its got lots of jokes in it too. The Annoying Orange never gets cooked or squashed or eaten but all the other fruits do.



I hope you like it too.

My Favourite Star Wars Stuff

I like Star Wars it my most favourite movie cos it has lots of wars and stuff like force and jedis and ships and siths.

I like playing with my lego star wars. I've got so much rare guys.

I am saving up to get some more lego.

I want the TX11 Jedi Striker but it costs $125 at Toyco and $150 at the Warehouse. I would rather get it at Toyco than the Warehouse.

I would also love to have the Lego Star Wars Complete Saga for Playstation 2.
I will earn the money doing jobs. my dad owes me $11 already and I am going to do some more jobs to get some money.

When I was on Easter Holidays I used my Easter money to get Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.
Last time I wrote about movies I said i wasn't aloud to get it but I did. It is the oposite what i said!
I watched it with my mum and my dad. My dad had never seen it before. He liked it.
All th rest of the star wars episodes are PG but Episode III is M because there is lots of wars in it.

My dad and mum liked when yoda said to Anakin "fear and anger is the path to the dark side".
I said to my mum there is lots of lessons to learn from episode III.
